2010 Get-Togethers

Thanks for all the feedback about group meetings this year.  It seems to have worked for most people to allocate a month each and it’s provided some diverse venues for the kids to play together.  I have a few questions to streamline our meetings this year due to the age of our children now and the differing needs of support.  Please submit your answers to the following questions and I’ll collate them and make the necessary tweaks to our schedule this year.

What is the best start time for your family on Mondays?

Would you prefer to meet for morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea?

For how long would you like to get-together on Monday?

For which month would you like to schedule our activities this year?
